[OpenIndiana-discuss] VirtualBox 7.1.4 error

[russell]

Hi

Noticed when starting VirtualBox 7.1.4 getting the following error when 
starting via the GUI

Failed to acquire the VirtualBox COM object.

The application will now terminate.

Details

Callee RC:

	

NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)

And now the VirtualBox GUI does not appear when using the GUI to start 
VirtualBox Manager

If I use the cli to run VirtualBox then the VirtualBox Manager then it 
starts but I am unable to start a VM as I get the error below.

Attempting to start the VM via the cli

$ /opt/VirtualBox/amd64/VirtualBoxVM --startvm "vbvm01" Qt WARNING: 
Session DBus not running. Qt WARNING: Application will not react to 
setting changes. Check your DBus installation. Segmentation Fault

$ /opt/VirtualBox/amd64/VBoxHeadless -startvm "vbvm01" Oracle VirtualBox 
Headless Interface 7.1.4 Copyright (C) 2008-2024 Oracle and/or its 
affiliates Segmentation Fault

Using the previous BE from the previous Saturday and then everything is 
fine.
